Section 7: Preventative Maintenance
GENERAL INFORMATION
Preventive maintenance is the most important responsibility of the pinsetter mechanic. Properly
performed preventive maintenance will increase reliability, prevent major breakdowns and lengthen the
life of the pinsetter.
Preventative maintenance should begin when the pinsetters are installed. Waiting until the pinsetters
are dirty and operating poorly will create a situation that can quickly become unmanageable.
Finally, it is a very poor practice to rely on memory in servicing any machinery.
An example of a typical work schedule is included that will allow you to track the maintenance as it is
being done. The following pages of this section list step by step guidelines on what should be done and
how often. Careful study of the contents of this section and proper use of the work schedule will result
in clean, well operating machines and will greatly lengthen the useful life of your pinsetters.
Tip: Combining the following activities during preventative maintenance can save time and effort.
In general preventative maintenance requires the following:
1. Inspection (and correcting any problem found)
The pinsetter should be inspected periodically for the following condition:
• Loose hardware
• Damaged or worn parts
• Cracked/fatigued metal or welds
• Proper adjustments
For optimum machine operation, a mechanic should correct any pinsetter problems such as loose
hardware or adjustments immediately. If corrective action cannot be done immediately it should be
logged on the “pending work item “ form for the machine.
In addition all pinsetter malfunctions should be recorded on the pinsetter “Stop Sheet” that should be
attached to the elevator of every machine. This form is invaluable in determining the reliability and
performance of your pinsetters as well as the impact of the maintenance.
Finally, if a problem is observed on a pinsetter, check the other pinsetters for the same problem.
2. Cleaning
The frequency for cleaning the pinsetter depends on the type and quantity of lane conditioner (oil) used,
the environment that the pinsetter in operating, and the amount of bowling activity for the pinsetter.
In general the pinsetter should be kept as clean as possible using a vacuum, general purpose cleaner,
warm water (with detergent as needed), and Invincible cleaner.
